S.V. ; and, lastly, 4°. Salebria, Z., composed of species with raised scales before the 

 first line, including palumbella, S.V. Yon Heinemann adopts the last two genera 

 as indicated by Zeller, but rightly mixes the species having raised scales with those 

 with smooth wings, placing in the genus Salebria, Z., all the species with eight veins 

 to the hind-wings, and in the genus Pempelia those with seven veins only ; thus, 

 palumbella, S.V., becomes the type of the genus Salebria, Z., and ornatella, S.V., 

 that of Pempelia, Z. 



Nephopteryx (Cat., p. 370). — This is composed of a great variety of genera, 

 so that it is impossible to say which is the type intended. Zeller (Isis, 1846) created 

 the genus Dioryctria for the first species {ahietella [S.Y.], Zk.), placing the next 

 species {rhenella) in his genus Nephopteri/x (established in the Isis for 1839), so 

 that rhenella, Zk., must be considered as the type of the genus. 



ZoPHODiA (Cat., p. 370). — Of the three species included in Hiibner's genus 

 {legatella, lib., tumidella, S.V., and convolutella) tumidella is placed by Zeller in 

 his genus Acrohasis, legatella and convolutella are placed separately in the genus 

 Myelois (Isis, 1839 and 1848) ; Zophodia forming a, ^wh-geww&^ov convolutella. Von 

 Heinemann adopted the genus Zophodia for convolutella, Hb., and there is no 

 necessity to change the name. 



Epischnia (Cat., p. 370). — The genus was composed of diversalis, Hb. {poly- 

 gonalis,!^}).), prodromella, Hh., and muscerdalis,Iih. (vebuJella, Hb.). The first, 

 belonging to Botys, must be excluded ; the second becomes the type of the genus 

 which has been characterized by Zeller (Isis, 1839 and 1848). 



Myelois (Cat., p. 371). — The only species given by Hiibner is medullalis, Hb. 

 (= crihrella, Hb.). Zeller placed in his genus Myelois all the species of which the 

 antennae, maxillary palpi, and wings in the male have no peculiar character, but he 

 divided the genus into various ill-connected sub-genera. Von Heinemann did the 

 same, including even Zeller's Acrobasis, whilst he removed several species to other 

 genera. The genus has thus become the general refuge of all uncertain species, but 

 as there cannot be any doubt as to the species which forms the type, I restrict the 

 genus to those species alone which, like cribrella, have simple antennae in the male, 

 eight veins to the hind-wings, with veins 4 and 5 in the fore-wings forked. 



Selagia (Cat., p. 371), comprising two Cramhi, and argyralis, Hb. {argyrella, 

 F.). This genus has been described by Zeller (Isis, 1848), and is composed of two 

 species, argyrella, F., &nd Janthinella, Hb., which have wrongly been placed since in 

 the genus Nephopteryx, Z., proper. 



EuEHODOPE (Cat., p. 371), formed for pudoralis, S.V. {rosella, Sc), and car- 

 nealis (carnella, L.). The type of the genus is rosella, Sc, which has been since 

 placed in Myelois, and., but as the type of Myelois is cribrella, Hb., the neuration of 

 which is different from that of rosella, Sc, I adopt Eurhodope, Hb., for rosella, cruen- 

 tella, Dup., &c., as well as for legatella, Hb., suavella, Zk., advenella, Zk., &c., as they 

 cannot be distinguished structurally from one another, yet as the legatella group 

 appears so different from the rosella group, I establish a sub -genus for the former 

 under the name of Mhodophcea, Guenee. 



Catastia (Cat., p. 372). — This is a good genus, and has been adopted by 



Zeller (Isis, 1839 and 1848) and Von Heinemann.
